Audience Member Love Margaret, but this is just not very good. She seems to be winging it most of the time. The jokes are ill-timed, there are way too many long pauses and she gets preachier with every movie. Yep, this one's 11 years old as of this writing, so some of the material is dated. What isn't just isn't very funny. Cho is talented - why hasn't anyone found a vehicle for her? I've seen her live twice and she was very funny both times. If I had seen this film first, I doubt I would've made the effort. Edited to state that I upgraded her a star for her passionate stance on equal rights for all. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Had some really good and funny moments in it...but had other parts that kinda flopped for me. She's not as good as Eddie Izzard. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member funny and way too liberal for youse guys Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Thumbs down. I love Margaret Cho but this is bad political humor. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Pussy crack corn...and I don't care!!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member As a first generation, similarly "inappropriate" Asian American who grew up in a predominantly white city never quite feeling as "Asian" as other people seem to view me, there is no other comedian I can identify better with than Margaret Cho. Her range is fantastic - she can do hilarious impressions of everyone from asian "old school" relatives to George Bush and Condoleeza Rice, gay men to snotty 14 year olds, Japanese film samurai to Ukiyo-e pictures. I admire her tremendously - a brave, intelligent woman who manages to utilize her own closely-observed experiences of racism and sexism to educate the audience about it. An example - "Whenever I go to a dinner party, inevitably someone tells me 'Too Much Information,' and, 'Don't Go There.' -- Problem is - I live there. I bought a house there. I'll TAKE YOU THERE!'." She wisely advocates the need for constant communication and discussion to bring about the "CHO REVOLUTION." Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
